According to The Kardashians: An American Drama, by Jerry Oppenheimer, before marrying Kris, Robert had fallen in love with Elvis’s ex-wife, Priscilla.

But the family would not be what they are now if matriarch Kris Jenner hadn’t married attorney and businessman Robert Kardashian. Kris was getting accustomed to the good life she always wanted, Robert was pining for the love of his life, Priscilla.

Oppenheimer wrote:

While Robert Kardashian wasn’t a kiss-and-tell kind of guy and stayed below the radar in the years before he became O.J. Simpson’s well-known mouthpiece, he couldn’t wait to tell his friends that he was involved with the former Mrs. Presley, a big-time romantic and sexual trophy for him.

Fortunately for Kris, Robert and Priscilla only dated for a year. They officially ended when Priscilla made it clear she wouldn’t remarry until Elvis was dead. Kris and Robert were married from 1978 till 1991 when they divorced.

If anything came out of it, Robert Kardashian was an amazing father.

I miss him everyday but especially on Father's Day when I am reminded that I was lucky enough to have the best dad in the world. I always knew he was an exceptional parent but after having my own kids I really knew. I try my best everyday to be the kind of parent he was to me.

Speaking with the Daily Mail's New You magazine just before the split news, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, mom revealed her one regret in life.

The one regret, if I had to do it over, would be divorcing Robert Kardashian. But then there wouldn't have been Kendall and Kylie, so that's the way I look at that. I don't have a lot of regrets.
